AGS Geology for Engineers Course – Adelaide

  • Next proposed to run late September 2013
  • University of Adelaide, North Terrace, Adelaide and nearby field sites on the Fleurieu Peninsula and within the Adelaide Hills.

Good ground engineering models are essential. If you know how soil and rock materials and their defects are formed you can anticipate where they might occur (the site geology), their engineering properties and construction issues that might arise. The aim of this course is to give students enough basic knowledge and skills for them to have the confidence to apply geological principles and methods in their work and to continue to learn about geology so that they can make better engineering judgments and decisions.

AGS Engineering Geology Course – Wollongong

  • Saturday 22nd September – Sunday 30th September 2012
  • University of Wollongong, Wollongong and nearby field sites.

The principal objective of this course is to teach students how to apply geological skills in the field to help solve engineering problems. This will be carried out by using guided field exercises, in which the students learn by carrying out realistic project related work in the field whilst being supervised by very experienced practitioners.
